What people are saying
about my copywriting...
It's always nice when people say good things about what you do. Here's what some of my clients have been saying about my work.
"Alasdair has undertaken several projects for us this year, including writing web content for a start up recruitment business, a 'refresh' for the new HB website and an edit for the James Caan Foundation. We have always found him easy to deal with, timely in his delivery, competitive cost wise and above all, 'on brief'. I would certainly recommend him as a copywriter to anyone in the recruitment space."
Nicki Shepherd

Hamilton Bradshaw
"Alasdair's a very useful resource to be able to tap into when our in-house team are up against it. Having been an account handler himself he appreciates the pressures the teams are under and can be relied upon to deliver copy on time and on brief. I would happily recommend him to anyone involved in recruitment communications".
Emma Hawker
Head of Creation Traffic
TMP Worldwide
“I have worked with Alasdair on several occasions and he has always exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail and industry relevant knowledge is second to none and make him a pleasure to work with. He really engages with each brief with a unique approach and delivers precisely each time. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Alasdair to write in a professional manner that captivates your target audience.”
Alia Majed

“Alasdair has been at the top of our copywriting roster for some time. He's reliable, quick and original whilst maintaining the voice of each client, and he always finds a way to fit into our budgets – an absolute pleasure to work with.”
Tom Edwards
Traffic Manager
Work Communications
"I used Alasdair as a copywriter
for the contents of my recruitment website. I handed over my very long
copy after a briefing over the telephone. Alasdair understood the
brief very well, grasped the theme and creatively achieved the
best possible web copy. He was on time, quoted
reasonably and was very honest and transparent. He also kindly did the work
before payment which I believe helps build trust and long term
relationships. I would not hesitate to recommend Alasdair to anyone who
is looking for copy writing skills for the web because he is reliable
and trustworthy."
Parm Bhagidi
Managing Director
Appello Resource Limited
"Alasdair has undertaken various
copywriting jobs for my company and he nails it every time! If you want unique
copy that showcases your company in a professional manner whilst appealing to
your target audience, then Alasdair's your man!"
Scott Taylor
Recruitment Media Director

"Alasdair first helped me navigate the
world of recruitment advertising in 1991 when Telecoms recruitment was in its
infancy and I had just started out. He helped create the brand and messaging of
Triage back in 1994 and produced many adverts/campaigns, including an
incredibly innovative one which, had we been so inclined, would almost
certainly have been award winning. Not only is Alasdair excellent at what he
does, he is someone I trust and who, as I write this recommendation, I realise
I have known nearly all of my working life and whose friendship has helped
shape my own thinking over those years. I have no hesitation in recommending
him for either his creative or copy writing skills, or as a trusted
advisor."
David Plummer
Founder & Principal
The Big Consulting (formerly of Triage, Spring Group and Parity)
"Alasdair is a joy to work with, and his ability to grasp a brief with
intelligence and understanding is refreshing. His writing style is adaptable
and always pertinent, which means his copy manages to hit the nail on the head
first time, every time.”
Paul Gaskin

“I have used Alasdair for providing copy for recruitment advertising. We work
within a very specialised field and require a high level of attention to
detail. Alasdair can always be relied on to provide an exceptionally high level
of copy, on time and at the right price.”
James Melody

Redford Stone
"I have worked with Alasdair on a number of projects. Whether he is simply
crafting a job posting from a dreadfully light brief and job description or
pulling together website copy from material pulled from here, there and
everywhere, he always delivers on brief, on time and on budget. What more could
you ask for? Approachable, flexible and great to work with, I will continue to
push projects his way and recommend him to anyone in my network."
Mark Beavan

"We can always rely on Alasdair to get
right to the heart of even the most obscure job description and come up with
well written copy that hits the mark first time. His charges are reasonable and
he’s very easy to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending
Alasdair to anyone who wants a good job done, on time and on budget."
Ginny de Havilland
Account Director
VCCP Blue
"As a busy PR agency specialising
mainly in the recruitment sector, using Alasdair has been like having an extra
member of the team. He turns copy around ahead of even the tightest deadline
and is happy to come up with alternative ideas and concepts. His knowledge of
the recruitment sector is a real advantage and what's more he is fun to work
with!"
Tracey Dunn

"Alasdair ticks all the boxes for me:
great writing, understands my business and sector, draws on considerable
experience and delivers on the button."
David Palmer

"Because of his background, Alasdair
fully understands the nature of our business. Accordingly, whether it's for a
pitch or a piece of 'copy only' on a deadline, you can always rely on him to
deliver copy that doesn't disappoint, quickly, efficiently and
cost-effectively."

ability to craft effective copy. He can always be relied on to deliver high
quality work on time - something that makes him an invaluable resource to an
agency such as ours. I would have no hesitation in recommending him."
Shaun D'Arcy

"Alasdair has been writing for us for over seven years and has never
failed to provide copy that is to brief, timely and cost-effective. He
asks the right questions, looks past the JD and PS and, coming from an account
handling background himself, is happy to provide input and suggestions when
appropriate. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending him to other
agencies."
Sharon Martin

“Alasdair created some fantastic
recruitment adverts that we ran for clients in Switzerland, South Africa,
Holland, the UK, Germany and several other countries around the world. All were
a success and one or two were shortlisted for awards. Most recently, Alasdair
has produced adverts for a US construction client recruiting for India,
Russia,Vietnam and Dubai.”
